Anyone here have an interest in quantitive development?

Like quantum mechanics?

No. Like quantitive trading for hedge funds. Sorry, wasn specific.

I'm interested in quantum entanglement

Fascinates me tbh

The stress is killing me this days

I can't consentrate and it angers me more

Zodd is your Savior!! Never Forget this

Hentai isn't a saving tool Zodd

So I don't know what your going to save us from? @ZODD

@EmptyEagle do not question zodd

***zodd is the hentai deity***

Sorry, I'm not loyal to fake deities

Fair enough

Would you guys invest $20-30k to get a BS and MS in a similar engineering field if you think it would increase income and be fun/challenging?

I could do it over the next 5 years and cash flow the entire thing. My company will pay for part of it as well.

@machtyn I'm not sure. Do you intend on designing things or becoming like a welding engineer or something, so you can write WPS and stuff?

That's like for mechanical engineering, manufacturing, fabrication. I basically know so much as a welder and welding inspector for only $3k investment, and the only thing I can't do is design.

I think Bowsette may be taking over the world

What's Bowsette?

did you watch HHH's last video?

The Metaphysics of Bowsette

@The Tradesman No, it's software engineering and machine learning related. Not a different field of engineering entirely. A niche, really.

I feel like it's not necessary but I still feel pulled to do it...

I dunno. I just feel stuck in limbo and I need to do something dramatic to challenge myself.

If I got a BS/MS it would only be 30k total. Which in the grand scheme, is nothing.

@Dick White Not yet.

@machtyn What do you have now?

A BS in Computer Information Systems. It was Computer Science but they turned it into an IT type degree with more operations mindset and I deeply regret it 😦

I'd take a few math classes I am missing and get a BS in CS followed by an MS in CS.

It would take 4-5 years, as I'd be working full time and cash flowing it.

If, I go that route.

I just feel like I wouldn't be taken seriously unless I get a BS/MS at senior levels.

Don't IT professionals have a service record or something that is valued more than a degree?

Well, I am switching from "IT" to "development/engineering" so no certificates matter. Only actual skills and MAYBE degrees... which is why I am on the fence.

Tons of amazing devs/architects don't have a degree and make 300k+

I mean, you won't know what's valued till you sit for some interviews.

Yeah

I have and a BS in CS is pretty required but I do have 5 years exp so it is fairly easy for me to transition if I built out some open source projects

I've sat for so many interviews that require more experience than I have.

That in itself is good experience and you'll find out what they're looking for.
